Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, party style
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp five-spice powder
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks spring onion, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 10g red bird's eye chilies, sliced
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken wings extremely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the dried wings with olive oil, baking powder, and fine sea salt until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until the skin is mahogany-colored and hard to the touch.
  5. Allow wings to rest for 2 minutes.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic, sliced chilies, and spring onions for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Toss the baked wings into the skillet along with the kosher salt, black pepper, white pepper, and five-spice powder. Stir rapidly for 1 minute until seasoning clings to the crust.
